Omada Controller showing always 50% of effective WAN utilization?

Hi,
I was always wondering about the little utizilization of my WAN shown in the Dashboard:
This is a setup being used by 2 people with about 13 devices, so there are idle times, but I tested it, maxed out WAN load over some time and checked again:
Even under full load (downloading Linux DVD images with 12,5 MB/s) it's always showing a max utilization of 50%. This matches what I see while video streaming, stream has about 8 Mbit, Dashboard is showing about 4% utilization. I have a primary 100 Mbit connection (WAN) and a secondary 50 Mbit connection (WAN/LAN1), configured like this:
Anybody with similar observations?
Thanks for your feedback!
I'm afraid I don't full get what you say. Do you mean the utilization is maybe based on the WAN port speed of the ER605? WAN Port is connected to a FritzBox with GigaBit:
So if 1 GBit would be 100% and I'm downloading at my max available speed (105 Mbit) I would expect 100% utilization (based on my external speed), I would understand 10% utilization (based on WAN port speed) and I would understand 66% (because my primary line has 100 Mbit and the secondary line has 50 Mbit, connected the same way). But I don't see an explanation for 50% beside the calculation maybe mixing up things because I have two WAN ports?
And it does this always, I double checked this is me streaming video yesterday evening (right part)
If streaming constantly I have around 8 Mbit throughput, whenever I check the current utilization either in app or web browser: It's always around 4%.
